Toronto blew past Chicago 5-1 at Rogers Centre behind a gritty Jose Berríos start, where the right-hander navigated four walks while yielding two hits across 5 1/3 innings to move to 9-4. Ernie Clement supplied the power with a season-high three-run homer in the fourth, and Daulton Varsho added a solo shot in the eighth to cushion the victory. Jeff Hoffman closed it with a perfect ninth. The defensive highlight reel included Giménez and Bichette on key plays, and Nathan Lukes’ daring snag in the gap. The Jays benefited from a robust crowd (43,003) and leaned on timely offense and bullpen depth to seal a comfortable win over the Cubs.

Fantasy angles rise from the American League’s depth chart. Berríos continued to pile up wins despite volatility in his command; Clement’s power surge across five games signals a potential mini-breakout, especially with his four homers in his last 25 plate appearances. Varsho’s steady power pace (12th homer in 32 games) keeps him in the mixed-league conversation as Toronto builds around a multi-faceted lineup. The win reinforces Toronto’s positional flexibility and depth, which could unlock favorable matchups and stacking potential as the season presses on.
